Medical Academic Dishonesty - what to do?

[TheBoneDoctah]

I am currently a junior in college and recently got caught cheating on an exam. I have done a lot of introspection within the last week, and I am deeply remorseful for the violation and am dedicated to doing better for the rest of my undergraduate and after I graduate.

I wanted to know what steps I should take going forward to help me distance myself from this scenario. I already plan on taking a year or two after graduating to help strengthen my application and to put some time between me and this predicament.

Thank you.

Junior....late in the game....not good at all. Is there anything on your record? You will likely need to take 1-2 years off (at least) if so.

Good that you're planning to take a gap year or two. Only time and an interim spotless record will show that this is truly an isolated incident and not indicative of who you are.

It's obvious, but if you do this again and are caught it's game over. You can recover from a single lapse in judgement, but not a pattern.

Hi and thanks for the response. There isn't anything on the record at the moment, but I have a hearing coming up in a few days and intend on accepting full responsibility for my actions.

Ok. That will make a difference if it's on your record or not.

What exactly was the nature of the infraction? There's cheating, and then there's CHEATING.
